Monday night football He will return to ABC weekly this season.
ABC plans to air one Monday night game each week of the 2023 season as a result of Hollywood strikes that have limited entertainment content available to television networks, according to multiple reports. The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild have been on strike for months, with no end in sight.
Monday night football It debuted on ABC in 1970 and was an ABC staple until 2005. It moved to ESPN, ABC’s corporate sibling, in 2006.
This year, the plan had initially been for a few select Monday night games to be simulcast on ABC and ESPN, and for three Monday nights (including tonight) to have one game on ABC and a different game on ESPN. But now ABC will get Monday night football every night, all season.
This is not a long-term programming change but simply a one-season response to the writers’ and actors’ strikes. Next season, ESPN will once again be the primary home of Monday night footballand ABC airs only a few select games.
